Character I agree with the statement as his intention are sinister and pure evil. Iago reason with the audience saying he only doing this because Othello slept with his wife even though it is not confirmed‚ ‘I know not if’t be true’. This shows that he have little faith in his wife or using this as an excuse to hate Othello. He uses Desdemona kindness and innocent to create a trap for the other characters to fall into.
